Midnight Bride The CEO's Temptation

Chapter 541 - 541: Her Painful Words Against Him

"It's far from the city proper. How do you get back?" Chris didn't force her.

"Just a few more steps to get a taxi." She went back like this every day.

Following her gaze, Chris looked ahead with a slight frown. It was a long walk to the taxi service point. "Don't you have a car? It's not convenient to be without a car in such a big city."

He didn't think she could not afford a car. Many young girls would buy a car, regardless of their financial situation, as soon as they graduated from college. Even if she couldn't afford a luxury car, there were plenty of affordable options for young girls.

"Walking more is good for your health." Savannah smiled. She had planned to go back to Italy before, so she never thought to stay long in this city.

A smile of approval flashed in Chris' eyes.

"Okay, see you tomorrow." He waved his hand and pulled away from the studio.

Savannah continued her way. After she walked a while, she saw a black SUV parking ahead.

She stopped in spite of herself.

The door opened. Garwood got out, walking to her.

"Miss Schultz, Mr. Sterling, is waiting for you in the car."

Savannah thought she would never hear the name again. She trembled a little as if she were in a daze.

There was a searing pain drilling into her heart, and the pain of the night of miscarriage seemed to revive.

She reacted, walking straight ahead as if she hadn't heard Garwood or seen the car.

She didn't know why he had come to her, but she didn't want to know. She didn't want to see him right now.

Dylan's face changed when he saw her running away without looking at him. He quickly got out of the car and shouted after her, "Savannah!"

She didn't stop but quickened her pace.

Hurrying forward a few steps, he caught up with her, grabbed her wrist, and pulled her over.

"Get in. I want to talk to you." He lowered his voice.

"I have nothing to say to you." Savannah didn't even look him in the eye, struggling badly.

Without more words, Dylan picked her up and threw her to the back seat of the car. Then he got in and slammed the door.

Garwood gasped, stepped back, and stood aside.

Inside the car, the light dimmed, and everything quieted down.

Savannah was so shocked that she reached the handle hurriedly, trying to open the door to escape!

He easily stopped her and locked the door. He moved closer to her, cornering her so that she could not move at all.

"What do you want to do? Did you forget what you've told me before, you don't want to see me again, right? Aren't you getting engaged to Charlotte? Why all of a sudden you appeared in front of me right now?" Savannah's voice trembled as she felt his hot breathing coming to her.

Not long before, she had tried desperately to return to him.

But when her heart was wounded, covered with cuts, and she had already given up on him, he came to tease her again!

He could feel her uneasiness and fear, as if there were a monster in front of her, ready to tear her to pieces.

He suddenly realized how much he had hurt her. His intention was only to punish her cause he felt betrayed, unknowingly, he hurt his woman badly. His eyes slid down to her flat belly.

There was a little life inside her not so long ago.

It was gone.

As his big hand fell down gently and covered her belly, he leaned over to her ear, murmuring in a husky voice, "still hurts?"

It took Savannah a few seconds to realize that he was talking about her miscarriage. She pushed him away and looked straight at him. "Why? Why are you suddenly so concerned about me?"

He drew her closer to him, staring at her. "Curtis, you remember? He saw you that night, and he just got back his sight. When I took Kaiden back to Chicago last week, he saw your picture."

Savannah froze. She didn't expect Curtis had seen her that night.

So...

That was why he came to her.

He understood that she didn't lie. She was really the girl who had saved him many years ago.

However, it came a bit late.

It didn't make her happy at all.

If only he had told her, he believed in her before she lost the baby...

Savannah knew that she could not blame him for not believing in her. He was still angry with her at that time, and it was such a coincidence that no one would have believed it.

A sad smile came to her lips. "That's all? May I get off?"

Dylan knew she might not be able to face him for a while. "Baby, my little woman. Let's pretend it never happened, okay?" He whispered as he tried to snuggle her into his arms.

However, she just felt sad and miserable at his sweet words now.

He could forget that she had made use of him before, but could she really forget how the baby died because of his unkind words?

"No!" Savannah pushed him away. "Let me out of the car!"

"No." He didn't move, eyes fixed on her.

"Mr. Sterling, in your perspective, I come back to you because I wanted to take advantage of your power and money. I begged you to hear me out, but you refused. I lost my child and bore the pain alone. I had had enough adversity in life, and nobody's with me. I shed tears silently and wished I'd never swallowed my pride and lowered my dignity in front of you but I'm stupid enough trying to win back your trust and love. You never give me a chance, Dylan. I know I went too far and have lied to you but honestly I didn't use you at all. The night you've come to Green Bay where you saw me waiting was the time I wanted to confess but you turn your back on me, leaving me with hatred and doubts. Tell me, how am I going to forget what you've done? Dylan, you never love me at all, your ego is bigger than your love," Tears slip down on her cheeks.

Added another painful word, "Don't forget, Mr. Sterling, that you have an engagement with Miss Rowe." She said coldly and wiped her tears.

"Fuck the engagement! You know exactly why I'm engaged to her. I never love anybody not even Charlotte at once because I am crazily in love with you. I'll tell her it's over!" Wasn't that because he was so angry with her at that time and wanted to punish her?

"It's your business. You don't have to report it to me. Please open the door." She turned away.

Her icy manner obviously annoyed him. He grabbed her suddenly and yanked her up against him, one hand at her back, holding her to him and the other fisting in her hair. He kissed her hard, forcing her lips apart with his tongue.

Savannah felt a sudden sickness and sank her teeth into his lips.

He released her out of pain, and the next moment he got a slap in the face!

There was no room to dodge, or probably he didn't want to dodge at all.

It was good if she could calm down and slap off her anger.

Savannah froze for a moment before she fumbled with the car lock and jumped out.

Garwood looked at Savannah's back as she ran away, surprised.

"Sir, shall I call Miss Schultz back?" He went back to the car and asked carefully.
